    i have assigned a static ip for the server and put the ip address as my dns.

  • I'd check that the domain controller and problem members all have the static ip address of DC listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS

        Please run;
        • Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >c:\dcdiag.log
        • repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt
        • ipconfig /all > C:\dc1.txt
        • ipconfig /all > C:\dc2.txt
        • ipconfig /all > C:\problemworkstation.txt

          then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.
